"Enke No. 1 Scholar?" Xue Ruitian looked at Shen Cha, then at Bai Meng, and found that both of them had blank faces. Then he looked at Shen Haolin who was thoughtful, and raised his eyebrows at him, "Hao Lin, who is it? What scholar can’t think so hard?”
"How do you talk?" Song Jue rolled his eyes angrily and threw a pear at Xue Ruitian, "What's wrong with Princess Shuangzhu?"
"I don't mean to say anything bad about the princess, I just think that the number one scholar agreed to win the princess because..." Xue Ruitian took a bite of the pear that Song Jue threw over and raised her chin towards him, "You have to worry about your conscience. , ask yourself carefully if you can’t think about it.”
"Hey, you don't have to touch your conscience." Song Jue sighed helplessly, "You're right, I really can't think about it."
"So, who is this guy who can't figure it out? Speaking of it will also open our eyes and gain insights."
"If I remember correctly, he was the first county horse master in the history of Daxia whose home was confiscated and nine tribes were exterminated?" Seeing Song Jue slightly nodding, Shen Haolin chuckled and said, "Then I understand, indeed I remember correctly, the name of the Enke No. 1 scholar who couldn’t be imagined was Huai Lu, a native of Jiaxing. After he won the Enke No. 1 prize, he took the initiative to marry Princess Shuangzhu at the Qionglin Banquet."
"Actively?" Shen Cha looked at Shen Haolin in surprise and said puzzledly, "Han Chuang studied hard for decades, and once he won the top prize, let's not say that he could enter the court and become an official. He wanted to serve the country. Serve the people and the king, at least be worthy of the decades of hard work you have put in? Be worthy of the upbringing of his parents and family? Why did he just become the number one scholar and ask to marry the princess without doing anything serious? Woolen cloth?"
"Xiaocha is right, this is not normal!" Bai Meng nodded, and started to count the so-called evidence of guilt by the scholars with his fingers, "Look, the literati and students we have come into contact with, you all know it, don't tell me All, most of them are pretentious, right? Look at those people in the Hanlin Academy, look at those people in the Yushitai, what kind of virtues do they have? Their eyes are on the top of their heads, and they look down on them every day. , Those who look down on that have their chin raised higher than anyone else, right?"
"That's right." Relatives, even more despised..." He and Bai Meng turned their gazes to Song Jue at the same time, "Do you understand?"
"Understood." Song Jue sighed helplessly, "They just want to use my hand to realize their ambitions and ideals. As for what difficulties they will encounter in the process of realizing their ambitions, How many people will be unlucky? This is a question they will not consider. Once such a big mistake occurs, they will pour this dirty water on me and accuse me of being stupid. They are doing this very well. It's easy. Over the years, if we hadn't been clear-sighted, we would have fallen into their trap."
"It's harmful, let alone these years. Hasn't it always been like this?" Why do you actively seek to marry the princess and end your bright career?"
"When something goes wrong, there must be a monster." Bai Meng looked at Song Jue with confusion on his face, "Either he had met the princess before the Qionglin Banquet, or..." He paused, "He approached the princess just because There is another purpose.”
"Or both. Anyway, his behavior is absolutely impure." Xue Ruitian threw the pear core on the plate, stood up and washed his hands, and said, "Haolin just said that Huailu's final outcome is to confiscate his family and exterminate his family. , from this we can see that he did indeed do something treacherous.”
"What you said is correct." Song Jue nodded, "His motives are indeed impure, and he has indeed done something treasonous."
"What have you done?"
"Don't worry, listen to us slowly." Song Jue chuckled and said, "He took the initiative to ask to marry the princess, and my great-grandfather was also very surprised. Although the princess and your second uncle..." He looked at Bai Meng, "I have a secret feeling, but I also know that it is impossible, so I also know that someone else will become a county horse in the future. As for Huailu, it is said that he is indeed good-looking. Although he comes from a poor family, he can be regarded as a handsome person. With his appearance as a son-in-law, there were indeed many noble ladies in the capital who liked him. On the day when the results were released, many high-ranking families were waiting under the results to catch their son-in-law. But I never expected that the number one scholar would have the backbone of a scholar. Don’t even want it anymore, I want to cling to the royal family as soon as I open my mouth.”
"With his behavior, there must have been a lot of rumors at the time. Those who were of the same age as him will probably not have any contact with him from now on, and will stay away from him."
"That's right." Shen Haolin nodded, "But according to our No. 1 Scholar, in the eastern suburbs of Xijing City, he accidentally met Princess Shuangzhu whose carriage broke down halfway. He fell in love with the princess at first sight, and he worked hard to I don’t want to worry about my own future, and I don’t want to marry anyone other than the princess.”
"It's even weirder." Shen Cha touched his chin and looked at Shen Haolin, "Is there something on the princess that he wants?"
"Don't worry, listen to me and Hao Lin slowly." Song Jue smiled at Shen Cha, "After hearing what Huai Lu said, my great-grandfather specially sent someone to ask the princess, and the princess admitted that it was true. , and asked my great-grandmother to ask the princess what she thought of the Number One Scholar, what was her impression, etc. The princess said that she had a good impression and that he was a talented scholar."
"At this time, the princess doesn't know about the number one scholar's request for marriage?"
"Of course I don't know." Song Jue shook his head gently, "My great-grandfather just thought that the champion was drunk and talking nonsense, so he didn't take it seriously at the Qionglin Banquet. But he didn't expect that on the second day, On the morning of the same day, Huailu once again mentioned this matter, knelt in the main hall, and refused to be granted an official position. If it was only spread in a small area at that time, this time it was spread to all the civil and military officials in the entire court. Even the royal family and relatives know about it." He spread his hands, "This news naturally reached the ears of Princess Shuangzhu, she..."
"how is she?"
"agreed."
"Why..." Shen Cha was puzzled, "Why would she agree? The person she cares about is not..." She looked at Bai Meng, "Can she let go so easily? Doesn't this make sense?"
"It is very wise to use one relationship to end another relationship." Yan Rong suddenly interrupted, thinking of the note left by his mother, he sighed heavily, "It turns out they are all the same poor people."
